Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I paid a visit.

"Happy New Year, this must be Xiao Su."

Xue Sumei smiled as she watched the man and woman enter, her gaze mainly fixed on the young man as she sized him up.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Su Li."

With Yang Tao holding her arm, Su Li forced a smile and greeted Xue Sumei, who, although it wasn't their first meeting, was their first formal encounter.

"You've come all this way, why did you bring anything? Come on in."

Xue Sumei said with a smile.

She had noticed the changes in her daughter recently. She had resigned from her job as a hotel lobby manager and directly became the manager of a wedding dress shop, which significantly improved her quality of life.

This was a major turning point in my life, all because I met such an amazing boyfriend.

He's rich, handsome, and truly a perfect boyfriend.

"It goes really well with my peaches."

Upon entering the living room, besides Xue Sumei, there were her niece, nephew-in-law Su Qing, and Duan Xifeng.

The couple has only been married for a little over two years, and so far they seem to have a very harmonious relationship, appearing quite loving.

"This is Peach's boyfriend. He is indeed handsome and has an extraordinary temperament."

Su Qing was a woman of average build but good looks, with the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother. She glanced at Su Li and praised her with a smile.

Duan Xifeng also laughed and said, "He is indeed very handsome, no less so than the stars on TV."

Yang Tao, holding Su Li's arm, couldn't help but smile and show a smug expression when she heard the two praising the latter.

"It's rare for everyone to get together today, so I bought a lot of groceries this morning. Let's cook a big New Year's Eve dinner and have some fun."

Seeing that her daughter and niece had both found good partners, Xue Sumei was overjoyed.

"We really need to have some fun during the New Year..."

Yang Tao whispered to Su Li, "You two chat, I'm going to help Mom cook."

Su Li sighed, nodded, and sat on the sofa, chatting idly with Duan Xifeng for a while.

"What does Xiao Su do for a living?"

"I own a company..."

"Starting a company? Oh, starting your own business is great! For people like us who work for others, there's never enough time in the world."

Duan Xifeng sighed and lamented, talking about how he was always busy at work, like a dog.

Su Li chuckled, his eyes glued to the news on TV, wishing the moment would pass quickly.

If he hadn't promised Yang Tao, he wouldn't have wanted to stay a moment longer.

Meeting the parents is the most troublesome thing!

"Braised pork is here!"

"This dish is stir-fried chicken pieces..."

"There's also lamb bone soup later."

"I heard from Peach that you love spicy food, so I specially bought the best chili peppers. I heard they're some kind of devilishly spicy pepper."

One dish after another was served, and soon the table was filled with a dazzling array of delicious home-style dishes.

Su Li looked on, feeling somewhat dazed. He had celebrated the New Year many times, and the memories of the previous world were still fresh in his mind.

The soda bottles were opened, and everyone raised their glasses together.

Cheers, Happy New Year!

Duan Xifeng originally wanted to drink alcohol, but he was stopped by the other three women. They said, "Why drink alcohol on New Year's Day? Just drink soda."

Zurich is very low-key and doesn't say a word unless necessary.

Yang Tao took good care of him, occasionally whispering a word or putting some food in his bowl.

Seeing Yang Tao's affectionate demeanor, the other three nodded in approval, clearly knowing that she had fallen completely in love.

However, Duan Xifeng felt very uncomfortable seeing the situation where the man was completely in control, because Su Qing was the one who made the decisions in his family.

"Looks like I'll have to have a chat with this guy sometime to find out what methods he used to make the starfruit so docile."

If Su Li knew what he was thinking, she would probably just roll her eyes silently.

How can a guy who lacks money, looks, and physical attributes be in charge?

Everyone enjoyed their meal in a pleasant atmosphere, watched the rebroadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and the event concluded in a wonderful mood.

After finishing her meal, Su Li made a quick getaway, leaving the residential area with Yang Tao by her side. Bathed in the dual light of night and frost, she slowly made her way to the car.

"Let's go back inside, it's cold outside."

Su Li looked like a beautiful woman wearing only a down jacket, her fair cheeks flushed red from the cold, with a graceful figure and flowing hair.

Yang Tao bit her pink lips and asked softly, "You seem a little unhappy tonight?"

Throughout the entire dinner, the guy next to me barely uttered a single word, just occasionally offering a smile in response.

"Don't overthink it. I'm just a little uncomfortable with this kind of occasion. I'd much rather spend my honeymoon with you and the rest of us than with my mother-in-law and the others."

Su Li put his arm around her slender waist and kissed her delicate, porcelain-like cheek.

"Don't worry about it, let's go upstairs."

Yang Tao's pretty face lit up with a smile again. She hesitated for a moment, then quietly said, "How about this, you wait for me outside for half an hour while I go upstairs to tidy up before coming out again."

After saying that, her face turned as pink as a blooming peach blossom.

Su Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you've made up your mind, then I'll be waiting."

"Okay, I'll be right away."

After saying this shyly, Yang Tao strode into the residential area with her beautiful legs in high heels.

Su Li put one hand in his pocket, glanced at the boundless sky, exhaled wisps of white breath, and looked deep and distant.

He didn't have to wait long before Yang Tao came out of the residential area in a brand new outfit and saw Su Li still waiting in the same spot.

She quickly stepped forward, took Su Li's hand, and asked, "Why don't you get in the car in this cold?"

"Reflecting on life..."

Yang Tao chuckled and scolded, "What kind of life can you possibly contemplate? Don't try to think of yourself as a philosopher."

Su Li chuckled and shook his head. He had actually felt a little guilty just now. Although he was quite good to the girl in front of him in every way, the fact that he had kept his feelings a secret was a kind of betrayal. Besides, he had never been able to give her a real marriage.

"But it's necessary for the mission."

In the end, Su Li could only use this to soothe her slightly guilty heart.

"Hmm, instead of being a philosopher, I'm going to be a biologist again tonight."

"Go on, let's talk about something serious."

They chatted and laughed as they got into the car, which sped towards their home and gradually disappeared into the night.

……

Hangzhou has been a famous cultural and tourist city since ancient times, and its development has been even more rapid in modern times.

As soon as the New Year was over, Su Li took a plane to this city to inspect the branch office, and also to appoint Xiong Qingchun, who had been promoted, and to see how his old friend Zheng Qiudong was doing.

"This Mr. Zheng registered a human resources company called 'Dejurenhe' before the Lunar New Year, which, unsurprisingly, created a competitive situation with our Suyang."

Xiong Qingchun sat upright beside her, her professional attire highlighting her graceful figure. She was holding a survey report and speaking briefly.

"This person is very capable; in just one month, he negotiated two contracts worth 60 and 80 respectively..."
